IPv6 (downonthestreet.eu)

I noticed by accident that in my home network IPv6 is not functional, so I decided to fix that, and started studying about IPv6.

I have an opnSense firewall which connect to my ISP port as WAN, and then the LAN. The point is that o do not get a GUA on my WAN, but I get it if I connect directly a pc to the ISP port....

The opnSense seems to be configured properly, and the ISP itself do provide IPv6 as I can get a GUA address when I connect my Linux laptop to the ISP router, so I am not sure...

Anybody has any hints?

Like nuclear fusion, IPv6 is one of those things that feels like it's constantly about 20 years away, no matter how long we work on it.

Using it on all my devices. It's there, globally and working. What feels constantly away is getting rid of IPv4.

I've been using IPv6 for more than 20 years, and I can't say that about nuclear fusion.
